I have added app-ads.txt with the help of https://www.app-ads-txt.com/ website. But even after 10 days, i don't see any update in admob dashboard (no crawler crawled yet). What might be the issue?

  • For AdMob to find and verify your app-ads.txt file, be aware of the following: Your app must be registered with Google Play or the Apple App Store. The store listing for your app must include a developer website – Amod Gokhale Nov 20 '20 at 09:25
  • @AmodGokhale yes, i already included that everywhere in developer console. In support section (contact details) as well as developer website. But, still i see the same. – Nikhil Reddy Nov 20 '20 at 13:19

    No, it's the same even after several months. And i finally stopped waiting for it, and started focussing on my other works – Nikhil Reddy Jul 01 '21 at 16:29

I had the same problem after several days of adding app-ads.txt. It worked after I updated my app in the store.

I had the same problem, steps I did to get it working:

  • add payment method
  • verify your account (setup of payment method needed, but you do not have to enter any actual payment details, such as a bank account yet)

Your apps should be verified and "Ready" after 24 hrs. However, the crawler only found my apps-ads.txt AFTER I have implemented admob banners and pushed the change into the app stores. I believe the crawler only starts "crawling" if there is actual ad traffic - but that's just a guess. Google also states somewhere, that the crawler might need up to one month to find ads-txt, if your app has low traffic.
